Overview
Jedlanka is a secondary wastewater treatment plant serving 335 people in Dys, Lublin Voivodeship, Poland. It discharges treated effluent into local waterways under EU regulatory standards.
Jedlanka wastewater treatment plant is located in Dys, a village in Lublin Voivodeship, eastern Poland. The plant serves a small population of 335 residents, reflecting its role in rural sanitation infrastructure. It operates as a secondary treatment facility, which is the baseline requirement under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive for agglomerations of this size. The plant has a designed capacity of 2,670 cubic meters per day and currently discharges 47.77 cubic meters of treated wastewater daily. As a secondary treatment plant, it removes organic matter and suspended solids through biological processes, meeting EU standards for effluent quality before discharge. The treated effluent from Jedlanka flows into local streams that are part of the Vistula River basin, ultimately draining into the Baltic Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the region. Proper treatment helps protect downstream water quality and the sensitive coastal environment of the Baltic Sea.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge enters local watercourses within the Vistula River basin, which drains into the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea is a semi-enclosed, brackish sea with limited water exchange, making it sensitive to nutrient pollution. Secondary treatment at Jedlanka reduces organic load and nutrients, helping to mitigate eutrophication risks in downstream waters.
